I've used a clear umbrella before. Opened it up, turned it upside down and filled with confetti, filling, etc. You can tie a balloon to the handle or put a big flower *from walmart*. Only works best if the table you are working with is big. If not, how about a big table cloth, white, over a few random boxes on the table. Make it in tiers, so to speak. Another option is to get a secondary punch bowl and fill with "floating" fresh flowers and rubber duckies. I've also used diapers, with the letters cut and pasted on the butt, strung on a ribbon or string, then attached to the wall. The diapers just tend to hang there if you put them on upside down. *writing on them doesn't work too well with a sharpie, they bleed* You can also use as a table topper in the middle of the room, in plain view, a tray filled with random baby items. Have this set up before your first guest arrives and near the end of the shower, when you are playing games, remove the tray and use it as a game. See how many people actually paid attention to what was in front of them the whole time.. LOL. Good for a game and decor. Can't think of anything else right now, but I will let you know if something more comes to mind.
